you cant really do those on a non-fixed bike, right? because it looks like you are backpeddling then locking up the pedals while shifting your weight around on the back wheel....
Yeah, you couldn't do them on a bike with a freewheel unless you already had backwards momentum from a ramp or a 180. From what I've gathered, you do half a crank rotation backwards then resist/pedal forward while shifting your weight back. Idk if it's just me, but it feels really awkward on drop bullhorns when you have to hold on with one hand and send the other backwards.
